I'm guessing they won't be using any extreme force usage scenarios, which TFU had (thus Mt. Dew). It kind of had to though, what with the name of the game. The story of the first one was pretty grounded as far as Star Wars goes and was kind of somber. I'm hoping this game will be good, but my confidence in anything Star Wars is pretty low at this point.

EDIT: oh and Star Wars (1979) on the Apple II! Oh I haven't played a Star Wars game in ages. I'm just kinda over the whole damn franchise. Disney really saturated that shit. My wife and I visit our friends in Orlando every year, and every year it's like having a wet Star Wars sock slapping me in the face at every turn. (and with Star Wars Land coming, it's only going to get worse). I want to like Star Wars again, but it's like hearing a song one too many times.

AbsolutSurgen Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I'm expecting a 12-15 hour single player campaign, that will essentially be a slightly longer version of a CoD/TF2 campaign. Lots of big set-pieces, and crazy situations -- but very light on real story/characters and the "RPG" systems that have become the norm. I'm certainly not getting any Star Wars fatigue -- I love this franchise, and had zero interest in the Battlefront games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdeaOfEvil Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 This might be a retcon for Starkiller's Force Unleashed story... Same era, similar story idea of a lone survivor, etc. That, or maybe this is a new character story that will have Starkiller appear in it somehow to make him Disney canon finally?

I don't think so, but if you think so then that is fair. But nothing else holds up. Even if the gameplay does hold up all the animations are fucking shit, and the game just looks not great. Well, the story holds up, but I knew of the twist before I even heard of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 KOTOR is one of my favorite RPGs of all time. Anyone who hasn't played it should play it now. I think I replayed it like 4 times. Except Manaan. Fuck that world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
